Abstract:
Provided are apparatus, system, and method for positionally aware device management bus address assignment. A presence of a plurality of storage devices is detected on a bus. One of the storage devices detected on the bus is selected. A get identifier command is sent on the bus to all of the storage devices that is only responded to by the selected storage device. A unique identifier is received from the selected storage device over the bus.
